South Africa's universities have become a battleground.

In October 2015 student protesters adopted the banner of #FeesMustFall in response to a proposed hike in university fees for 2016. After South Africa's government, led by President Jacob Zuma, relented and promised no fee increase in 2016, the protests subsided. Since then protests have reignited and are becoming increasingly violent. The spark was a September 19 announcement by Blade Nzimande, South Africa's higher education minister, that universities would be allowed to raise their fees by a maximum of 8 percent in 2017.

The prestigious University of the Witwatersrand, based in Johannesburg, has become a central arena for such clashes. Disruption caused by the clashes caused the university to shut down on several occasions; part of the Wartenweiler library was set on fire; and, on one occasion, a Catholic priest was caught in the crossfire and hit by a rubber bullet, leaving his white robes blood-stained.
